The Blue Line Orient Heights station is being rebuilt.


Each heavy rail line has its own equipment and its own shop. The Blue Line shop is at Orient Heights, which the ERA visited Tuesday morning.

The Silver Line is "Bus Raid Transit" using dual mode hybrid/electric trolley bus vehicles which operate as hybrids on the surface and as trackless trolleys in the tunnel. The mode is changed at Silver Line Way station.

I did not realize the Silver Line were dual mode.

How long does the transition take, to raise or drop the power poles?

I didn't watch pole lowering, but raising them took about fifteen seconds.
